Tai Miuwette

Tai Miuwette was a cat who was revered by the villagers of Siwa, Egypt for defending the village granary from mice and rats. He was called "the Great Cat, the avenger of the gods, the emerald-eyed, the one who walked by himself," and he was said to have been given dominion over the mice and rats who stole the Siwans' grain, decreeing that the humans should not starve. After he died, he was mummified and placed in the Mountain of the Dead, and the Siwans wished that his journey through the Reed Fields (the afterlife) would be full of vermin for him to hunt.
